The Excellence in Small Structures Award went to Lunda Construction of Black River Falls for construction of the US 12 bridge over Allen Creek in Jackson County.

​​​Large structures c​ategory​

​
WisDOT Outstanding Construction Award Winner, Large Structures Category – WIS 116 (Main Street) Wolf River Bridge, Winneconne -

WIS 82 Point Bluff Bridge, Adams and Juneau Counties - Southwest Region​​

The Excellence in Large Structures Award went to Lunda Construction Company of Black River Falls for construction of the WIS 82 Point Bluff bridge over the Wisconsin River in Adams and Juneau Counties. The existing 17-span steel truss bridge was nearing the end of its life. ​The new structure is an 11-span bridge built adjacent to the old structure, eliminating the need for a long detour. A significant cost savings to the project was achieved by using Pile Dynamic Analyzer testing to reduce the length of piling needed for the project, resulting in a savings of $846,000. ​Despite being a complex and challenging multi-year project, the contractor completed the project early and under budget.​​​
